The Xerez Cromlech is a prehistoric megalithic monument consisting of a circle of standing stones, believed to have been used for ceremonial or astronomical purposes. Located on a gentle slope near Monsaraz, it offers a glimpse into the Neolithic era. Visitors can walk among the stones, some of which are engraved with cup marks, and contemplate the ancient landscape. The site is part of a larger megalithic complex in the Alentejo region.
Don't miss
- Count the 50+ menhirs arranged in an oval shape and observe their varying sizes.
- Look for cup marks and engravings on some of the stones.
- Take in the serene rural setting, with views of the surrounding plains.
